Hi Ty, I'm not sure what mirroring documentation is currently available - someone else might be able to post links. In terms of what you are making available, there is a mirror site already in virginia at raven.cslab.vt.edu. You should look at syncing from them if it makes network sense. You will want to think about whether you are making your archive available as a public or private resource. If public, whether you want to make it an official mirror which will require you to carry more than the CVS tree. My recommendation at the moment if you want to go ahead is to run it as a non official mirror for a while and see what is involed in the updating process how things behave. You should look at: CVS trees (branches) release trees (i386, or i386 + alpha) distfiles (source) ports (i386, or i386 + alpha, various release and stable trees) misc stuff Yes, making the above available via anonymous ftp would be needed. If you just wanted to run a local CVSup site, then you can probably talk to john polstra directly about getting added to cvsup*.freebsd.org if you're going to do this officially. cheers, -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
